Waikato ADV rides!

[Odakyu-sen]

no worries, I'm usually the slowest and I've found that following the good riders (and keeping up) has great for learning

I'm looking forward to being well out of my comfort zone.

Where and when we meet will depend on who is coming from the waikato and south.

So far the only confirmed riders ( other than ta JAFFA`S ) are Dino and myself.

Horney1 / Waihou thumper & NIC what are your plans.

0815hrs 2 whatas it is. Brrrr. That'll be an early start for me!

I have no plans......do but I intend to head over join the ride - if the start time (out of 2whata's?) is not too early.

[Waihou Thumper]

Have a good ride, will not be there.

How about both North & South meet at Nikau Caves mid morning. Still have individual meet up points at 8;15 or what ever. Nic might need more time to get from Rotorua so could meet us at Nikau Caves.

I'll be at BP AutoBahn or Tuakau Bridge.

[socialites]

Yeah thats a plan, Auckland crew meet at BP Autobahn at 8.15 to ride at 8.30, meet the "cow bell" lads at Nikau caves mid morning and take it from there.
Hope someone knows how to get to Nikau caves...hahahaha

Yep, 8.15 to early for me also. Say 8.30 at whatawahta gas station ready to leave

Nic, it would take about an hour and 40 minutes max from Rotorua to Whatawhata so you can decide if that is too early and you want to meet us at Nikau Caves Cafe.

Meet up with the Auckland crew at the Caves Cafe between 10 & 10.30

You guys can sort your route to meet that time.

Sorted !!

If the southern crowd (of 2?) have a Nikau Palm Cafe ETA of 10:30 hrs, and the Jaffa contingent are to depart BP at 8:30 hrs, what will Jaffa do to amuse its collective self for the 2 hours before Nikau? (Sightseeing?) Low-tide follies at Port Waikato (low tide at 9:37 hrs)? Show-and-tell? Group counselling? (What else do we do in Auckland when we have an hour to kill....?)

[Shewolf]

mmmm Klondyke Rd

[10bikekid]

:According to my extreamly accurate Google map calculation if Jaffas leave Papakura at 830 and travel the 1h 30ish minute to Nikau caves and Waikato farmers leave Whatawhata at 845 and travel the 1h and 15ish minutes to Nikau caves that would be about 10 ish give or take a 1/4hr or so, sounds about right through since the routes we are taking is top secret gestimation only

Good Calculations, only problem is that those are all the boring ( tarsealed roads ) which we dont use.

But if you aucklanders go via Klondyke road that would get you there about the right time, then you could turn around and ride it in the reverse direction with us 4 southerners.

Just kidding

I posted before that Klondyke thingy road was mentioned and google avoids gravel mostly

Sounds good, but will bring JPS just incase
